The product of a couple of riffs coming together. Can you guess what they are. I love the combination of spoken and sung. And, on this track, the horns really work...

Watch Me

A high energy song with a message for our times...

We Got To Learn To Get Along

Song written by Dean Frost. 
Performed by Dean Frost, Elizabeth Johnson, James and Jessica Murray with Pat Clarke.
I wrote the song and originally recorded it in 1989 but it has never had any real exposure and is as relevant to the present situation in the world as it was when I first wrote it. The Antarctic polar ozone hole may in fact be closing but rising carbon dioxide levels continue to drive Global Warming. And there may no longer be Third World Debt but the same rampant capitalism is sustaining the pollution and ravaging of the Earth's resources , along with worldwide inequality and Climate Change..

Hot House COP26

Why do so many people glue their eyes to their mobile phones, and not look around at the amazing things around them? Just Random Drifting through life!


Blank face, vacant space
Product of the human race
Evolution’s revolution waiting for a contribution
To it all
He’s a man who claims to know it all
So he looks down, at the ground
Lost it all, never found
Answers for his questions or even a suggestion
What it’s all about
Tries to hide his face and shut it out

You’re a typical random drifting in and out
You’re a five star waste of time just hanging out
Sitting all alone in your Twilight Zone
Cos’ your head’s still buried in your mobile phone
Time to wake up, look about, see what you’re missing
Don’t waste another minute, don’t let it go drifting by
Never ever asking why

Lights on, no one’s home
Wonder why you’re all alone
Tik Tok, around the clock
You’ll never get a life until you switch it off
Spend some real time to take a good look around
At the sights, smells, feelings, listen to the sounds
Of the world that you’ve lost, mind drifting away
A different story happens every day

You’re a typical random drifting in and out
You’re a five star waste of time just hanging out
Sitting all alone in your Twilight Zone
Cos’ your head’s still buried in your mobile phone
Time to wake up, look about, see what you’re missing
Don’t waste another minute, don’t let it go drifting by
Never ever asking why

You’re a typical random, you’re a five star waste of time
Sitting all alone, too busy living in the Twilight Zone
You’re a typical random, you’re a five star waste of time
Sitting all alone, too busy living in the Twilight Zone

Wake up, look about
No need to shut it out
See what you’re missing
Don’t leave it drifting on by

Random Drifting

Existential electro ballad depicting identity and experienced moments as dual interlaced states of being. Lyrics provide further explanation. Composed, performed, and produced by Solo at Studio SRO, Granada Hills, CA.

Interlaced Generation

I am a songwriter first so if you think any track is your killer breakthrough let me know. Like playing bass, love arranging and mixing, although while I know my own Cubase set up I am not yet as comfortable in a studio...

I do open mics from time to time. Just written and performed a few songs for a friend's wedding. That was fun.

Solo Band, (sounds better than One-Man Band)...Meet the "band" here... http://youtu.be/2y1XbeCcKVc 
Songwriter heavily influenced by British Pop/Rock/Punk of the 80s-90s, and the Electronica/New Wave sounds of the 80s. All songs are written and performed by me - except for the few covers that I have obviously not written. Contact me at shippa63@gmail.com. Have a listen and let me know your honest opinions. Check out all of the albums, EPs and random singles available on Bandcamp via https://shppa-63.bandcamp.com/

A family collective indie soulful folk blues band.

MUSIC IS THE BEAST

Strange as it may seem, music is created for other reasons than making a living. For many of us it is a way of staying interested in a life that is fraught with disappointment and otherwise encumbered with obstructions to contentment. Some have asked me why I don't create music that is more accessible, with potential for popular appeal. I'll consider that whenever it seems there is a shortage of such. For now, I focus on other sorts of potentials. Not much point in spending valuable time attempting popularity through imitation, and trying to do that better than others.
